Fly backed Jack a lot, despite his indiscretions, Mitchell wont, so he could well find himself back to square one, playing for the Box Hill Hawks, while his former team mates play to yet another 80 000 packed house. Just saying.

good!

stuff the hawks, let em waste money!

There are many posters here who are claiming that they can read Ginni's mind.

He knew no such thing speaking of mind reading, he fell so short it was laughable and did it in direct defiance of a leaders instructions, it could have been the flag and it's impossible to excuse.

yep, this

funny you say that!
i started the series again yesterday, I watch on my treadmill!
I was thinking that this morning as jesse pondered how his little side business got him dissolving a body in acid! and then the bath fell through the ceiling!!!!

a loveable larriken that doesnt know when to get fair dinkum!

I don't think you can keep making excuses for 3 finals, zero goals and zero tackles in the prelim and the GF.

Geez it’s amazing how people who wanted him goneski since last year are now singing his praises. I’m the opposite, backed him to the hilt and a big fan, but now, knowing what I know, happy to see the back of him.

He won’t get the crowd numbers & cheers he got at COLL that’s for sure!


I hope we play HAW in Rnd 2 & unveil our flag RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM!

I will laugh my bloody head off!

I don’t care if we win the game, I just wanna see his face!

Yes. We've brought in a new player who will play in Ginnivan's place, Scultz is alreadsy being hailed as a champion who will improve our team. He may - and I hope he does - but like all of the other small forwards on the Collingwood list, he has never achieved the goals output Ginnivan achieved as a 19 year-old. If that was 3 years ago and Ginnivan had been useless ever since, that would be one thing - but what we actually had is a kid who has, it seems, gone a bit feral and we've dumped him, rather than tried to refocus his talent. He's not the first player on a football team to have a poor season after a first good one and he won't be the last. I'm not interested in second-guessing the Football Department's decision - but the nasty attacks on a talented kid who didn't want to leave are shameful and embarrassing.

I am sad he is gone, ‘cause he IS only 20.

I just hope the Club doesn’t regret this, that’s all.

Worked hard around forward contests, but I reckon they ran off him.

The only time Fasolo ever got over 40 in a season was when he was taken at pick 45.

and the first indiscretion (which will happen) the headline will scream

"Ex-Collingwood player Jack Ginnivan ... blah, blah, blah"

just a matter of time

^ Well, now Jack's gone, we can get back to worrying about who is going to f-up in the off-season this year. It's not even November, yet. If I were a gambler, I'd be framing a market on the prospects of one or two of them staying out of trouble and focused two off-seasons in a row.

We just traded the one who’d f up.

I reckon Fly has never seen Ginni as the long term prospect. He brought in Hill in Year 1 and Schultz in Year 2.
